"Radical Evolution" Book journal 1

Prologue: The Future of Human Nature/Chapter Two: Be All You Can Be

Before start reading this book, I was not sure if I could have much interest in this book. It is because I knew that this book is about science and I do know well that I am not a scientific person. In fact, I like TV programs and stories related to science, but most of the time, I cannot truely understand them. I also felt that those newly invented scientific technologies are things that are not really related to our lives and even if they have possibilities of becoming usuful to our daily lives, it will take somewhat 20 or 30 years to be popular.
This is why I was so amazed when I read the first two chapters of this book. First, I did not know how various the topics of the field of science is. There are scientists working for scientific development in medicine, military, biology, sports, etc. Almost every aspects of our lives are being analyzed by scientific research. Not just things in our lives, but scientists are also trying to develop mankind itself. There are various possibilities that scientists are trying their best to make possible. When I read about these possibilities I thought that they are like things in science fiction movies and books or TV games. For example, human becoming able to regrow it's own body parts, to work 24/7, and to gain strength of Olympics athelete. However, as I read that there are actually many organizations in the world, such as Defence Advanced Research Project Agency in the U.S. , which are doing scientific research by goernment funding and the ways they function, I realized that these are not the things only in movies and books, but they are becoming reality.
At this point, I am not sure which one of the three scenario human being is following. But I am eager to get an idea about it by reading this book.
About the book in general, I liked the way author writes. He seems to be always neutral and he does not give his own opinion about scientific research or development that he introduces in the book.
